Creating Meaningful and Effective Service Level Agreements

Principal Marc Tanowitz discusses how to maximize the benefits of SLAs in this byline article. Sample excerpt: “As outsourcing buyers use service levels to measure the performance of a provider, service level agreements (SLAs) are one of the buyer’s fundamental vendor-performance management activities. An SLA’s agreed-upon quantitative provider requirements establish the baseline performance levels and define the monetary credits or other remedies associated with a provider’s failure to meet the standards. The principal role of an SLA is to align buyer and provider objectives.”
